If Go Daddy Had a CLI

GoDaddy's business model was always to sell domain names at a loss and make money from up-sells and cross-sells with hosting, certificates, etc.

GoDaddy will never put out a clean and fast buy process or user interface... Every domain name (after coupon discount) is a $1+ loss for them (plus consider additional costs of support, infrastructure, etc). Adds up to at least $45 million every year and chances are their domain business costs them $100 million every year.

Unless they switch models and domains no longer become the marketing focus (even at $11/year w/o a discout they still only net at most $1 ... compared to all the other products + services).

Oh, too soon? :P

I think there'd be a lot more asterisks and exclamation marks.
